British director Matthew Warchus' second feature, Pride recounts the true story of how gay and lesbian activists helped U.K. miners during the lengthy strike of the National Union of Mineworkers that began in summer 1984 during Margaret Thatcher's tenure as prime minister.

From a script by Stephen Beresford, Pride reveals how the miners initially rebuffed the efforts of the London-based activists who, undeterred, traveled to a tiny village in Wales to donate the money they had raised in person.
